How to Sell a Used VMC
To sell a used VMC (vertical machining center), send the make, model, year, serial number, axis travels, spindle specs, key options and clear condition photos. Revelation Machinery responds within one business hour, then uses those details to evaluate the machine, market it to a nationwide buyer network, handle buyer questions and coordinate the sale and removal. Your VMC can stay on your floor until it sells.

Initial Assessment
To provide you with the most accurate quote for your used vertical machining center, we need to gather some key details:
- Make, model, year and serial number
- X-, Y- and Z-axis travel
- Spindle RPM and spindle taper
- Options: coolant thru spindle, 4th axis, 5th axis, chip conveyor
If you’d like to learn more about the exact requirements for your machining center, or how we find buyers, contact us.
Condition Photographs
High-quality photographs can help us find buyers for your machinery.
We may request additional photographs of machine components that are particularly prone to wear and tear. You can also review our used VMC photograph guidelines for more information.
Floor Requirements
Information about your floor requirements can help us build a better strategy when we sell your CNC vertical machining center. Can you keep the machine on your shop floor until it’s sold, or do you need to move it immediately?
We can also set up a consignment arrangement if needed.
Upgrade Your Vertical Machining Centers
Once we find a buyer for your CNC vertical machining center, why not replace your equipment with something even better? Vertical machining centers are slightly less expensive than horizontal machining centers, and Revelation Machinery carries all the leading brands.
Typically, smaller production shops will find these machines to be cost-effective. They have a simple setup and are easier to manage than HMCs. There are also advanced CNC capabilities with machining centers, which make them more efficient than the competition. Some advancements include spindle speeders, quick-change workholding devices, rotary indexes (which allow 4–5 axis work), angle heads, and tool-and-part probes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling a VMC
How do I sell my VMC?
Send us the make, model, year, serial number, axis travels, spindle RPM and taper, and any options (coolant thru spindle, 4th/5th axis, chip conveyor), along with condition photos and your floor requirements. We’ll put together an assessment and list it across our nationwide buyer network.
What is the best way to sell a used VMC?
The best way depends on your timeline. Selling through a dealer with a nationwide buyer network keeps your VMC in front of qualified buyers without you handling listings, calls, and inspections. Consignment suits sellers who want to keep running the machine until it sells, and industrial auction suits sellers who need a firm timeline. Revelation Machinery handles all three.
How much is my used VMC worth?
Value depends on condition, configuration, and current demand. Details like control package, options, spindle hours, and maintenance history all factor into an accurate quote.
Where can I sell a used VMC?
Revelation Machinery lists VMCs through a nationwide network, with direct listing, consignment, or industrial auction options depending on what fits your timeline. Fill out the form on this page or call/text 618-323-3920 to get started.
Does Revelation Machinery buy VMCs or only consign them?
Both. Depending on the machine and your timeline, we can buy it, list it directly, consign it, or run it through an industrial auction. Tell us which you prefer, or we’ll recommend the best fit once we review your details.
What brands of VMC can I sell to Revelation Machinery?
We handle VMCs from most major builders, including Haas, Mazak, and Doosan. See our guides to selling a used Haas VMC, Mazak VMC, or Doosan VMC.
Can I sell my VMC while it’s still in production?
Yes. Many sellers keep running the machine while we market it. We’ll work around short inspection windows, a simple under-power demo, and a removal plan that lines up with your schedule.
Do I need to remove the machine before it sells?
No. It can stay on your floor until it sells, and we can set up a consignment arrangement if you’d rather not wait for a buyer before the machine moves.
